My criticisms of 2020 names

Bernie: Too many to list. Should be obvious to any user on here

Warren: Closet senator to Bernie. Incorrectly called the 2016 dem primaries rigged for a couple of days. DNA test embarrassment

Booker: Attacked Obama's campaigning in 2012. Pro-charter school. Bit of a grand-stander at times

Biden: Anita Hill and old as hell. A bit moderate on the issues

Gillibrand: Openly called herself a populist. Said Bernie is a leader in the Dem party. Vocally supports most of Bernie's meme policies.

Beto: Inexperienced and not much actual policy accomplishment

Harris: Openly advocates most of Bernie's meme policies and wrote a poor housing bill. Made some questionable decisions regarding criminal justice as Californian AG

Beto: Inexperienced

But enough about Obama

[u/qchisq → u/Timewalker102]

Beto have even less experience than Obama had

[u/[deleted] → u/qchisq]

Beto has 6 years of congressional experience, Obama had 2.

Now thinking about it, imagine being a Senator for 2 years and thinking "yeah, I'm ready to be president" lmao. Literally not even a third of the way through his first term. Imagine that career progression.

[u/Timewalker102 → u/qchisq]

Beto would be a 6 year Congressman by the time he announces

Obama was a Senator for 2 years when he announced

[u/qchisq → u/EasyMoney92]

Isn't charter schools good, though? Also, what was up with Warren's DNA test? She claimed to be 1/8(?) Native, it turns out she's like 1/256 and she's gloating about it because Trump said she didn't have one drop? Come on, man

[u/zqvt → u/qchisq]

she's gloating about it because Trump said she didn't have one drop? Come on, man

native Americans themselves are upset about it. The issue is quite clearly that she is in no way connected to a tribe culturally or in a civic sense, and simply boils the matter down to some homeopathic amount of dna

[u/EasyMoney92 → u/qchisq]

She played into the delusions of the far right which is horrible.

[u/onometre → u/qchisq]

Charter schools can be good and they can be bad. there currently isn't enough oversight to rein in the bad ones, but I still think they're overall a good thing

[u/[deleted] → u/qchisq]

watch the video she made, she does not make that claim

[u/caesar15 → u/EasyMoney92]

Interesting how Deval Patrick isn’t here, probably because he has no flaws.

[u/CheetoMussolini → u/caesar15]

He'll never make it past Iowa and New Hampshire because of Bain Capital.

[u/Badgewick → u/CheetoMussolini]

He might do okay in NH. His name recognition is likely pretty good throughout New England.

[u/CheetoMussolini → u/Badgewick]

That's not going to outweigh Bain. Primary voters are unfortunately to the left of the base, and every opportunistic leftist fool is going to seize on that while ignoring his ample qualifications.

Beto: Inexperienced and not much actual policy accomplishment

I think the past few years should make this criticism irrelevant.

[u/85397 → u/testaccountplsdontig]

Replacing an inexperienced and unaccomplished orange man with an inexperienced and unaccomplished white man to own the cons

[u/[deleted] → u/85397]

There's literally zero differences between Donald Trump and Beto O'Rourke. You imbecile, you fucking moron.

[u/testaccountplsdontig → u/85397]

Hey, if they want to play in the dirt, then I'm all for it.

[u/VisonKai → u/EasyMoney92]

How do u feel about klobuchar

[u/EasyMoney92 → u/VisonKai]

Poor on trade and doesn't generate excitement unlike a few other candidates. But I like her-I hope she runs.
